New security controls for Europeans heading for the UK next year. | Majorca Daily Bulletin reporter

The UK Home Office has announced dates for the worldwide roll out of its Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme. The UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which will cost 10 pounds, will soon apply to visitors from Europe, Australia, the US and Canada. It requires tourists to gain permission to enter the country as part of plans to fully digitise its borders by 2025.

The ETA will open up to all other nationalities, except Europeans, this November and be required for entry from 8 January 2025. Europeans, meanwhile, will be required to have an ETA for travel from 2 April 2025, with applications opening up in March. The system, as part of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, operates using an online application whose information is checked against security databases.

If the system does not find adverse information about the applicant, the travel authorisation is granted automatically, otherwise the application is forwarded to an officer to decide whether to grant the authorisation. The system is expected to provide a response within three working days. A UK ETA is valid for multiple entries for two years or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever is sooner. It may be used for temporary stays for tourism, visiting family and friends, business, study, certain types of work, or transit. Having an ETA does not guarantee entry into the UK.
